Overview of the CELTA Course
The Cambridge CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an internationally recognized teaching qualification for teaching English as a foreign language. It is designed for individuals with little or no previous teaching experience and provides a solid foundation in English language teaching methodologies.
CELTA Course Structure in France
In France, the CELTA course is typically offered by approved Cambridge English Assessment centers. The course usually lasts for four weeks, full-time, with intensive training sessions. The course covers various aspects of teaching English, including language analysis, lesson planning, teaching practice, and classroom management.
Teaching Practice and Feedback
One of the key components of the CELTA course is the teaching practice sessions. Trainees are required to teach real English language learners in a classroom setting. These teaching practice sessions are observed by experienced tutors who provide constructive feedback to help trainees improve their teaching skills.
Assessment and Certification
Trainees are assessed throughout the course based on their teaching practice, written assignments, and overall performance. Successful completion of the course results in the award of the CELTA certificate, which is highly regarded by employers worldwide. The CELTA certificate opens up opportunities for teaching English in language schools, universities, and other educational institutions.
